I’m glad he did this interview. So many garbage critics were criticizing the actors as having no chemistry before the movie was even released. “Just because you’re hot doesn’t mean you can act.” They actors blew it out of the water. Director knew EXACTLY what he was doing. Great movie.
Their chemistry is insane! Honest to God, I cannot name lots of movies and series where actors had the same level of chemistry. And no, I'm not saying this coz I'm gay^^
@@svenheimes2494 I was dubious at first when I saw the names of the actors chosen, but the proof of the pudding was in the acting ! In another YT comment I mentioned Edvin and Omar (Wille and Simon fro young Royals) should have won a Nobel Prize in chemistry. Well, the Swedish twinks have found their match with Nick and Taylor. And those voices….😜.
need a sequel
whoerer think Nick and Taylor don't have chemistry between them, obviously they don't know what is the chemistry .
"Nick was very protective of Henry. It was like he was holding this wounded bird in his hands and caring for it" STOP THAT'S SO ADORABLE 😢❤
TZP and Nick really are perfect for their roles. You can really see their care and understanding for Alex and Henry. As an audience we were incredibly lucky to see that and their chemistry unfold.
We need a continuation or a limited series ASAP. Prime Video needs to make this happen!!!
people literally cant get enough of these two. it would be really smart to either release a sequel or even a mini series. people will DEVOUR IT. we are obsessed with alex and henry's chemistry
Yup and in the mean time release the deleted scenes while the hype is still going
Obsessed is the operative word. And yes to a sequel!
Best Casting, I can watch them together all day, please give us a sequel with them
And not just that they are individually perfect for their individual roles but that they work beautifully together as a pair. It's miraculous and impossible to force.
We need the uncut version, behind the scenes, bloopers, interviews, photoshoots, audio book with their voices, Second and third movie and world tour 😭😭❤🤍👑💙
there's nobody who could have played FirstPrince better than Nick and Taylor. incredibly grateful for their dedication to characters!
I wish this book would have been turned into a mini series.
the movie needs a sequel
It’s a great job Matthew López. Beautiful movie, now we need more, sequel or serie with Prince Henry and Alex.
We now have 2 men living Rent Free now in our minds because of this man. What have you done Matthew?! 😃
Nick and Taylor has perfect chemistry!!! I hope we could see interview with Taylor and Nick after the strike is over, they deserves to be given to them to speak about their roles and how they feel about the film being so popular now, and beautiful photoshoot🥺🥺🥺
I've been saying since the movie first aired that whoever, (whether that is Matthew alone or a committee), did the casting for this movie should win an academy award for casting alone. Not only is this a wonderful, delightful, and fun movie to watch, but every single actor became their character. Not just Alex and Henry, which are pure perfection themselves, but Zarah, President Claremont, Henry's siblings right down to his baby sister, and Stephen Frye as the king. Every actor was chosen perfectly which made the experience of this film all the better because you believed every single character was the real person they were playing. I find that is not always the case. I don't think this was luck Matthew Lopez...I think this was real talent all unto itself to find the perfect character for every single role. No one was left out in this film. My new favorite movie of all time.
WHY DID THEY NOT ASK HIM FOR A SEQUEL...WE NEED MORE OF ALEX AND HENRY ASAP
Literally people are going crazy for that movie
Lol!! Yes in two weeks I’ve watched it like 30 times. I watch it on my phone while I am commuting to and from work
@@TravelwithTasha393 like i'm not even joking I seriously need help at this point. Somebody needs to take away my laptop. I've watched that fkn cheesy rom-com 56 times now
I feel like with the feedback rwrb has gotten there will DEFINITELY be a sequel but in the meantime i will be rewatching this movie everyday until we get said sequel. I’ve just gotta be patient cause I know it won’t be anytime soon with the strike 😅🥲
@@jungkookismyonlyalpha2813 Lol! I am in love with them.
We know because of the book how things end. (Spoiler for some, maybe? 🚨) The depression, moving in together, Alex new job, Henry trying to decorate their new place and learning how to cook lol, marriage... I mean, there's material. They just need to finish developing it.
It was supreme casting !!! The natural chemistry here is almost unmatched
Perez and Galitzine are wonderful in this film. Much has been said about their chemistry, which is palpable. But neither actor has shown as much heart or honesty in their other work. The difference is the sensitivity of the creative team. Director Matthew Lopez and cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt give them a glowing jewel box to inhabit. With the addition of the intimacy coordinator, Robbie Taylor Hunt, the intensity of the characters' relationship materializes on screen. You sense that there was pride and love coming from all departments and that that provided a platform which allowed the two lead actors to become two lead characters that make us laugh and cry and love them. Cynics have attacked the film for not being what they want or think it should be, but that is short-sighted. The achievement of RW&RB is that it is completely what it sets out to be -- a smiling act of hope and love.
We need ALL deleted scenes!
I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Nick and Taylor is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before. ❤️
I have now seen it 14 times! It just gets better and better!!! ❤❤❤
Matthew seems like the nicest person in the world i just wanna sit and have a conversation with him and ask him like a million questions about the filming of rwrb 😭😭😭
For me, this film is SO EXCITING. Having come out in May 1968, younger generations might not comprehend fully the impact this film has on us "older" folk! Taylor Perez and Nick Galitzine are a perfect pairing. Thank you so much for producing this "masterpiece"! //Vincent//
honestly 2 hours wasn't enough, i need more of them 😅
We NEED a sequel to this beautiful movie. ❤❤❤
The chemistry between Nicholas and Taylor is magical!! Perfect casting! Their performances and the movie itself are Oscar worthy! Best romantic movie I've EVER seen! I'm totally hooked! I hope we get a sequel!
Well done! They’re really are Alex and Henry! Love the movie❤
Please I want to see my couple again, we need more please. 🙌🏼😍😍 I love them so much, crazy 😘
Honestly, the movie ended perfectly. No need for part 2, but I NEED more Taylor and Nick new movie again with the same genre PLEEEEASE. 😢❤
no it needs a sequel we need a big gay royal wedding for these two
The fact that the director is willing to drop the show if he wouldn't find the best suited actors for 2 of the most important characters in the film. You already know this is gonna be good. And I thought making a film should always have this struggle. Because every cristism goes back to the director and Matthew-knowing the genius he is refuses to join the list of directors who failed to do their job well. So he's like we better find the best Alex and Henry or the show isn't happening 😂 One thing I've learned from this fact- Trust a genius' process. Listen to them and let them work no matter how long it takes. God, I guess this is why it's impossible for me to move on from this film. Congratulations to the entire cast. Everyone did such a great job from the actors to them working behind the camera. Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine just become icons because the director was so passionate. Everything is chef's kiss!!! 🍒👌
I am excited for the 2nd movie of Red, White, Royal Blue 2 ❤
Please give us a sequel or a limited series we want more of Alex and Henry ❤❤❤ ASAP
Series please 🥰
Love this snippet of an interview! Hope there is more released as I would love to hear more about how the movie came about.
The casting definitely could make or break this project, the boys are a vital part of the story and if not the right actors this would've felt so flat. As rwrb book reader, I actually never pictured them as real people, never liked any fancasting either, they were just these little people that existed in my mind... But in the first scene in the movie that we are presented to them, it just fit so well! They are Alex and Henry! It's just right, and I can even explain why.
That's why I'm so I love with this movie.
Love the movie as a straight girl. The actors are amazing. The chemistry was excellent . I also noticed that some other actors in the cast...Uma Thurman (Henry & June), and Sarah Shahi (The L Word), played gay charaters in movies and TV series. It would be interesting to know his choice behind that.
I just love seeing love. My niece watched the movie too and loved it. I asked my niece, who is Gen Z, if her generation is accepting of movies like this...if they care if the actors are gay or not. She said it is 50/50. I told her my generation was a hard core no, unless you were a gay man or just open minded. So the tide is changing. ❤ Great job.
OMG, so lucky and so smart! Perfection.
This movie is so good
We need a sequel pls. Thier chemistry is off the charts
TZP and Nick were perfectly cast.. I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job ..
And you did wisely❤....cuz the chemistry is ufffffff 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for creating this work of art, it is an excellent film, and with the best protagonists.
I hope a sequel is made.
best casting of the decade. they are meant for their roles like RDJ to iron man.
I'm all in for a sequel but they need to bring in the author of the novel to write the screenplay or at a minimum as a consultant.
Did you see her in the movie? She had a cameo.
Thanks so much for making History!! Please bring a sequel for us!
❤ Thank you, love your job ❤ can’t help falling in love this movie 😊
Taylor and Amick were amazing before this movie, all RWRB did was prove how much better they've gotten since their last projects. Yay for casting them!
Thank you for creating a fantastic show
You nailed it 😊
Guys Where I can watch the full interview ??
They cast Alex so perfectly. No one could have delivered those cringey lines better. Especially 'should we listen to Lana del Rey while we do it ' He did it so perfectly
They were born to play the parts. It was meant to be.
Thank you thank you for this interview and this film!!! 😍🥰🏳️🌈
TZP was casted like his Minx audition!
That movie should have been a limited series, six episodes a la Queen Charlotte
it needs a sequel
@@nothingbutintroverted4372 will they be able to repeat the magic of the first one? Maybe if the author makes a sequel and then they adapt it? Maybe in 10 years time when Alex runs for president?
@@Sbudre i mean with the same people at the helm i have no doubt they would
I love this movie! I loved its tempo that discards from the script stuff in the book not important to the telling of the story. I love the two main leads and the entire supporting cast, whose roles and acting made the movie rich and grown up.
(Hell, I almost jumped to attention when Stephen Fry as King James burst into the castle meeting room with a bang in an effort dissuade grandson, Henry, from coming out. Like so many others, James wanted to protect the Monarchy from embarrassment , not support Henry.)
But I write to bring Alex's convention speech in your script to President Biden's SOTU speech yesterday, 3/7/2024. In your movie, Alex says at the Democratic Convention:
"ALEX: My mom has inspired me
every day of my life.
She has passed down to me a faith in
America that always looks to the future,
not back at the past.
Her vision for America
has you at the center.
- Your hopes, your values, your future.
- (crowd cheering)
Those words resemble President Biden's "we do it for you" remarks last night. I choked up then and I choke up now as Biden and Alex tell their respective audience what really matters, why politicians do what they do: The do it:
FOR YOU, MATTHEW, FOR ME AND MY 6 GRANDCHIDREAN AND FOR GENERATIONS YET UNBORN FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE UNTED STATES.
No less authority than Jesus Christ makes service to others the centerpiece of his life. Retribution, hate is nowhere mentioned.
💙
I wanted to know. Was Casey involved too in casting of this film?
Best 🏳️🌈 movie
You left so much out of the movie that was in The book . I was disappointed. I did like it.... but some characters were not even included
Please I want to see my couple again, we need more please. 🙌🏼😍😍 I love them so much, crazy 😘
